I think they are all pretty close, especially when all 6 are within 9 slots on the US News rankings (between 20-28). UF received 64,000 applications this year, up from 48,000 last year. Assuming they accept 50% more than the 6,000 slots for freshman class, the acceptance hovers around 20%. Defiantly a strong school, on the rise, with lots of interest.

There are over 35,000 undergraduates at UF. Your 6,000 slots is a lowball figure.

From UF website:
“In 2020-21, we received a record number of nearly 53,000 applications for approximately 6,300 seats in the Class of 2025.”

+1 applications up over 20% from last year, but they didn’t add any more seats. 20% acceptance seems right.

If that is accurate, then UF is taking a huge number of transfers each year. Do the math.

+1 applications up over 20% from last year, but they didn’t add any more seats. 20% acceptance seems right.

From the UF website:


“Just over 600 students were admitted into Innovation Academy, a program dedicated to those with a creative and innovative mindset. IA offers 29 majors and a spring-summer enrollment schedule that gives students the fall semester off for travel, internships, research and other adventures.

Approximately 3,600 students were accepted into the Pathway to Campus Enrollment (PaCE) program. Students accepted
into PaCE are Gators from Day One and take part in a blended college career of both online and on-campus classes”

So in reality UF has over 10,000 freshman enrolled each year.

This is probably the main reason Florida has risen so much in the past few year. They are using a similar formula that Columbia has used to climb the rankings. Hiding a huge percentage of their matriculated students in “special” schools and colleges where they don’t have to report their freshman statistics. USNWR, once again, falls for the scam.

Pace is an online program, it shouldn't be included. Also, 3,600 were "accepted" into PACE. Many of those kids don't attend pace because they get accepted to other schools' in person programs. Also, the scam is the inflated SAT scores reported by test optional schools. Of course if everyone with low scores can just hide them by going test optional, the SAT scores will be skewed higher than if you have to report your scores as UF requires. UF has also has great job placement outcomes, which is important in our competitive environment.

Does USNWR include UVA wise student in UVA's numbers? From UVA's website:

If you are a Virginian placed on the wait list for the College of Arts and Sciences at UVA, you can attend UVA Wise for one year—completing 30 hours of transferrable credit and maintaining a 3.0 GPA—and then transfer to UVA Grounds in Charlottesville to complete your degree. (No additional application to UVA’s College at Wise is required.)

UF isn't "scamming" the system anymore than other schools.

+100. The stats are based on 6,300 spots. Doesn’t include online or other programs. This is the Freshman class. Too funny for those challenged with the idea that UF is a T25 school. Hahahah

PaCE students are “Gators from day one” and should be included in acceptance data. Same with the 600 at the so called Innovation Academy.

Agreed - great school that’s trending! Great value, highly competitive, with fantastic graduate outcomes. That’s why so many folks applied. And not test optional.

The innovation academy kids would probably improve the stats. And of course they say they are gators from day one, they want people to attend this program, but it's competent separate. The UVA Wise kids mentioned above also aren't included. Why are you so bitter?

[Anonymous]

It clearly states PaCE blends online and on-campus instruction. This clearly indicates to me that UF doesn’t have the resources to educate these thousands of students on campus. Not a good look at all for a university that is now rated in the top 30, not 25, at USNWR.

I went to UF a million years ago (1980s). It was the most fun 4 years of my life. Great atmosphere, great choice of classes, beautiful campus, a ton of things to do. Studied hard, played hard. Even went Greek, which I hadn't planned to do but am so glad I did.


It was incredibly affordable. I even did a semester abroad in Austria. And I walked right out of school into a field in my major.

Congrats to all the new Gators out there!

Grad rate in 4 years at UF: 68%

Grad rate in 4 years at UVA: 89%


Almost 1/3 of undergraduates at UF fail to get their degrees in four year!
